  • Network Time-Shift-Blog
    Michael Biel [email protected] Time Shifting by the Networks The following posts by Elizabeth McLeod, a broadcast journalist and a free-lance broadcast historian specializing in the late 1920s and early 1930s, are reproduced with her permission. Date: Sun, 29 Mar 98 22:23:55 -0500 From: Elizabeth McLeod ([email protected]) Subject: Re: By Means of Electrical Transcription... I'm confused about when the practice of pre-recording (transcribing) radio shows began. I recall reading that the Bing Crosby show was the first transcribed network show (and I seem to recall a Crosby show in which guest star Grade Alien says "this isn 't radio, it's a transcription "), but I also seem to recall that Amos and Andy were distributed on disk. My confusion was added to when I read the little book that comes with the first Smithsonian set of Superman episodes (great set, btw) since there is a reference to prerecording the shows, but I know that The Lone Ranger and such were sometimes performed more than once for different time zones. What's confusing you is the difference between network shows and syndicated shows. "Amos 'n' Andy," when it began in 1928 was distributed by syndication by the Chicago Daily News on 78rpm records -- the first radio program to be pre-recorded in such a manner. This continued thru mid-August of 1929, and ended when the program went to NEC. Many syndicated shows followed in the late 20s and early 30s, including comedies, dramas, serials, and musical features. These were shows produced by independent packagers and sold to stations without the need for wire-line connections.

  • Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? American Song During the Great Depression
    Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? American Song During The Great Depression American society was much less homogeneous during the Great Depression (1929–1941) than it became after World War II. There were still quite sharply defined classes, divided along economic, geographic, and ethnic lines. There were the literate, largely urban whites of the East, North, and pockets in the rest of the country; there were the rural whites of the South, Midwest, and Southwest, mostly of English, Irish, and Scottish descent; there were the blacks of both urban and rural areas. Each group was affected by the Depression, but in different ways and to different degrees. Each had its own tradition of popular song, and a sampling of these from the thirties can give a vivid picture of how each fared and how it reacted to the almost universal adversity of that decade. The financial boom of the decade following the end of World War I can be seen in retrospect as too speculative, based on credit and on paper assets. It was also decidedly top-heavy: sixty thousand families controlled assets totaling those of the twenty-five million families at the bottom of the economic ladder; seventy-eight percent of America’s families had a yearly income of less than three thousand dollars. The Roaring Twenties roared for only a fraction of Americans; even at the peak of the apparent prosperity of the decade, genuine poverty was a hard fact of life for many millions. Within a year of the overwhelming election victory in 1928 of Herbert E.

    Pre-LP Recordings of RCA at 33 1/3 rpm. through 1931 to 1934 by Ted Fagan Once it had been proved that sound could be reproduced, the next steps entailed improvement of quality, expansion of versatility and increase in the amount of material that could be fitted on the discs or cylinders. Many experiments were made with different playing heads and needles, bigger discs and cylinders, narrower grooves and, finally, slower speeds. This is not the place to enter a study of the differences between the materials used for diaphragms on the playing heads, nor for the manufacture of needles, except for a passing mention of this later. Sizes of the records themselves went from 5 inches to 18 and groove widths varied from 150 per inch to 450. By 1930 the engineers had discovered that a recording speed of 33 1/3 revolutions per minute could be controlled, relied upon and to a large extent, avoided the distortion that usually spoiled the sound when the grooves get closer to the central spindle. In 1931, the company issued brochures and catalogues that announced the advent of a new technique which permitted recordings at this slower speed. One of these catalogues is quoted extensively in Oliver Read and Walter Welch's book From Tin-foil to Stereo (pp. 292 et seq). The crucial portion of the announcement reads: " ••• now the Long Playing Record takes its place in the Victor Catalogue. A policy of recording all major works on both standard and 33 1/3 rpm. records has been adopted. The playing time has been fixed at such length that no sacrifice of musical quality - inevitable if the grooves are carried too near the center of the record - need be made ••• " Commercially, however, the slower playing records were not a great success.
